My leggings were soaked, my body humming with anticipation. “I’m still waiting for that to happen,” I snarled.
He smirked and released me, straightening and sinking to his knees again, only this time he pulled my leggings down with him. “This ass...” he murmured, his breath tickling my bare skin, making me whimper. “It’s so appetizing. I just want to mark it up.” Then, with no other warning, his teeth sank into my cheek, making me howl as an unexpected climax ripped through me.
Laying my forehead on the table, I gasped as his tongue suddenly swept over me, lapping up my release while I tried to unsuccessfully squirm away from the sensation. After having his fill, Nox rose and pulled me to standing before spinning me around to face him. Quickly lifting me to sit on the edge of the table, he removed my shirt, gently pushing on my chest so I would lie back as he followed me down.
“You come so beautifully for me,” he whispered against my neck, dragging his teeth along my skin before raising his head to stare down at me. “Now, let’s do it again, and this time, I want to watch your face as you scream my name.”
Chapter 17
Vasilisa
Iwas already regretting how smug I’d been, believing I was in control. My entire body was shaking, still recovering from my first orgasm and vibrating with need as Nox straightened again and began unhooking his belt. While I’d held him in my hands in the grove, everything had been shrouded in darkness, so the promise ofseeingthe “python” before he filled me with it was almost more than I could bear.
Give. It. To. Me.
“Little beast,” Nox chuckled as he leisurely removed his shirt, clearly enjoying the sight of me gnashing my teeth and growling like a wild animal. With a slowness that bordered on criminal, he finally lowered his pants, his enormous cock springing free to slap against his stomach.
I immediately sat up and reached for it, but he roughly pushed me back down. Keeping his palm planted on my chest, he caressed my throbbing pussy with his other hand before sliding his fingers inside. “You’re not in charge,” he reminded me, although the smirk twitching his full lips told me he expected me to rebel.
Wiping my wetness down his length, he lined himself up, his cock nudging my entrance as his expression turned serious once again. “Remember the safe word. If you say it, I’ll stop.”
“I won’t,” I begged, no longer caring if I was ever in charge again. “Please…”
Infuriating smirk back in place, he began to push into me, and I forgot how to breathe. My other Riders were not small by any means, but this was a stretch that made stars dance across my vision.
“Relax, Vashka,” he breathed against my neck, trailing light kisses along my skin as he inched his way in. “My beautiful queen. My salty little witch with the tasty ass…”
My laugh turned into a guttural groan that he echoed when he finally bottomed out. I lightly scratched my claws down his back as he gave me time to adjust, but when he lifted his head again, I saw I wasn’t the only one in need of a moment. Nox’s jaw flexed under his beard, brow furrowing as he breathed evenly through his nose.
“I am yours,” I whispered, smiling when his face softened.
“And you are mine.”
I sent the last part down our bond, still unsure if he was ready to hear it said aloud. His expression darkened as he slowly slid his cock out of me before slamming it home again, capturing my cry with his lips crushed to mine.
From there, he showed no mercy. Nox hammered into me until my voice was hoarse, lifting my legs so that the only part of me scraping against the table was the brand on my upper back. Bearing down, he fucked me harder, as if trying to erase any marks on me that weren’t his, to replace my past with the exquisite torment he was giving me. I lost myself in the pain, claws dragging over his tattoos until our skin was slick with his blood, chanting a combination of his name along with Tan’s and Asa’s and any gods or goddesses that crossed my mind as I fractured beneath him.
“No,” he growled. “I only want to hearmyname on those lips.”
I obeyed, reciting his name like an incantation. A swirling, purplish-black cloud surrounded us like a cocoon, glimmers of stars winking in the distance as my next orgasm started to thunder through my veins. Nox cursed as I tightened around him, demanding that he follow me and finally submit to his fate. I threw my head back and howled, my eyes shut tight as I lost consciousness from the pure ecstasy I was experiencing.
In the starry darkness that I found myself in, I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be horns sprouting from my Rider’s forehead. This vision faded, replaced by a scene featuring all three of my men—resplendent in their auric colors as they charged on horses through the air, horned and pulsing with power, ready for battle.
When I finally regained awareness, I discovered I was now comfortably nestled in my bed with Nox wrapped around me. I attempted to turn and face him, but his hold only tightened, so I awkwardly reached over my shoulder and blindly patted his forehead.
“...the fuck are you doing?” he sleepily mumbled into my hair.
“What happened to your horns?” I muttered, twisting around as much as possible to peer at him in the darkness.
He snorted. “I think I’d remember if I suddenly grew horns. Go back to sleep.”
I snuggled back against his broad chest, although my eyes remained open as I considered what I may have witnessed. Somethingotherhad flickered across my other Riders’ faces when we’d connected during sex, and I frowned, trying to recall if I’d seenhornsduring these visions as well. Unfortunately, this brought my thoughts to the horned god and the knowledge that my hut was most likely delivering us to him in the Nav, regardless of what we wanted.
“Go tosleep,Vashka,” Nox hissed in my ear as if picking up on my agitation. “Before I fuck you again from you wiggling that ass all over me.”
I smiled. As tempting as the offer was, I was admittedly sore from our earlier playtime, and I wanted to be rested for when we faced Veles again. “My Darkest Midnight,” I whispered, affectionately running my claws down Nox’s arm as my eyelids grew heavy. “Mine…”
“Yours,” he answered, so quietly I almost didn’t hear him before I drifted off to sleep.
